Real talk: life doesn’t get much better than miniature goats. Which is why we're obsessed with the Hideaway Farmlet—near Tasmania’s north coast town of Penguin—becaue it's home to a whole bunch of them. That and the fact that this adorable old farm cottage also counts ducks, chickens and guinea fowl as neighbours. Guests can attend the goats’ feeding time each morning, and even join them for a one-hour miniature high tea. In the evenings, tuck into tastings of fresh farm produce, then wind down in the cosy one-bedroom cottage stocked with hot water bottles, puzzles, and books—perfect for a snug night in.

Create core memories with your crew at Paradise Road Farm, an eco-conscious hideaway tucked in a lush valley beneath the stunning Mount Roland—aka the gateway to Cradle Mountain.

Come nightfall, kick back in your king-bed cabin with a front-row seat to the Milky Way—or even the Aurora Australis.
